Question

A pediatrician wants to show the weight of an infant in pounds and ounces for eight doctor's visits during the first y

He wants to be able to show the parents the infant's approximate weight between visits. Which type of graph is the
appropriate?
bar graph
line graph
stem-and-leaf plot
circle graph

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Line graph

Step-by-step explanation:

A line graph is ideal to show a variable or factor over time, this is because in a line graph you use dots to depict whether the factor studied decreases or increases. This will be ideal to show how the weight of an infant changes during eight visits because by using this graph the doctor can clearly show the increase or decrease of this factor over time. On the other hand, a bar graph is used to compare different elements in one category simultaneously, while a circle graph is used to show percentages of total and a stem-and-left plot shows complex numerical information.
